I did not make this, but I'm sharing it (click to make huge):

Questionable player selection but he was going to good images rather than player names when selecting the images to use. GREAT WORK! He said he might try again with players Skins fans would like better later on. He's doing every team. I'll share if there's another future version.

Bumping this thread rather than starting a new one. With preseason games over I wanted to look over the schedule again and predict wins/losses based on what we've seen so far. Here we go:

Week 1 at New Orleans: The Saints will play a very emotional game based on the off-season crap and recent storms. I expect us to get demolished week 1 but won't take it too hard. Loss

Week 2 at St. Louis: Win

Week 3 vs Cincinnati: Win

Week 4 at Tampa: Win

Week 5 vs Atlanta: Loss

Week 6 vs Minnesota: Win

Week 7 at NY Giants: Loss

Week 8 at Pittsburgh: Loss

Week 9 vs Carolian: Win

Week 10: Bye

Week 11 vs Philly: Win

Week 12 at Dallas: Loss

Week 13 vs NY Giants: Win

Week 14 vs Ravens: Loss

Week 15 at Cleveland: Win

Week 16 at Philly: Loss

Week 17 vs Dallas: Win

So I have us going 9-7 and think I was pretty conservative i.e. we should win those games. Maybe we eek out another win or two, which would be very impressive. 8-8 won't make me surly, but below .500 would be inexcusable given our roster talent and schedule.

Who's next?

[CRedskinsRule]

Week 1 at New Orleans: I think the Saints come out emotional, but the Skins D holds at first, and the lack of the Head Coach/play caller lets us keep it close. We open with a late Win

Week 2 at St. Louis: Win

Week 3 vs Cincinnati: Win

Week 4 at Tampa: Win

Week 5 vs Atlanta: Loss

Week 6 vs Minnesota: Loss Ponder and Peterson put on a nice display, while we RGIII is going through some tough lessons

Week 7 at NY Giants: Win Giants begin there mid season drift, and Bob shows Osi his speed

Week 8 at Pittsburgh: Loss

Week 9 vs Carolina: Loss Can't quite handle the running qb yet

Week 10: Bye

Week 11 vs Philly: Loss See Carolina

Week 12 at Dallas: Win Dallas will be in full meltdown by now. Romo out, McGee (3rd string) starting.

Week 13 vs NY Giants: Win Fans are starting to get the bandwagon going

Week 14 vs Ravens: Loss Bandwagon falls apart LOL

Week 15 at Cleveland: Win

Week 16 at Philly: Loss Ugh

Week 17 vs Dallas: Loss Dallas saves face keeps us out of wildcard

8-8 from me.

[DynamiteRave]

Losing both games against Philly? Vick isn't in his prime anymore, by time it rolls around that we play them, I'd be surprised if he hasn't suffered at least 1 injury of some sort. The Eagles remind me of the Red Sox this season, stacking talent and for some reason never getting their act together.

We'll win at least one of those games.

[IrMitchell]

Week 1 at New Orleans: Emotional game for the Saints and they're arguably the best team we play this year. LOSS

Week 2 at St. Louis: Bradford meet RG3. WIN

Week 3 vs Cincinnati: I'd say we actually compare favorably to the Bengals.. Close game, but we end up winning. WIN

Week 4 at Tampa: We're better. WIN

Week 5 vs Atlanta: Matty Ice along with White and Jones absolutely destroy our secondary. LOSS

Week 6 vs Minnesota: No Joe Webb this year. WIN

Week 7 at NY Giants: Split. LOSS

Week 8 at Pittsburgh: Brown, Wallace and Sanders will destroy our secondary. LOSS

Week 9 vs Carolian: Newton completely dumbied us last year. Will it change? LOSS

Week 10: Bye

Week 11 vs Philly: Split. LOSS

Week 12 at Dallas: Split. LOSS

Week 13 vs NY Giants: Split. WIN

Week 14 vs Ravens: A far superior team. LOSS

Week 15 at Cleveland: Easiest win of the season. WIN

Week 16 at Philly: Split. WIN

Week 17 vs Dallas: Split. WIN

[Lotus]

Every game: WIN

You're predicting a mid-season, 5-game losing streak? Ouch.

anyone know if this story checks out? where is the legit source?

If wanted to, you could pretty much figure our schedule out for the next 20 years.

Each year all the teams of a division play all the teams of two other divisions - one in the AFC and one the NFC (so we will play every team in the league at least once every three years). It simply rotates by division. The only two teams on our schedule that aren't predetermined are the NFC teams from the "off" divisions. Those teams are determined by finish (firsts play firsts, seconds play seconds, etc.).

So for example, next year since we play the entire NFC Central, we will play the first place finishers in the NFC West and NFC South.

how is home/away decided?

I'm not exactly sure how the home and away is scheduled other than because you play all 4 teams in the other 2 divisions, you will play 2 of them at home and two away in each case. Then obviously for the two teams that finished in the same place as you (say 1st place teams) you get one at home and one away. That's 5 home and 5 away = 10 games, the other 6 games are the 3 homes againts your division and 3 aways = 16 games.

[JoeRedskin]

Just alternates. Look at the schedule. We played GB and Minn home in 2010, will play them away in 2013 and home again in 2016. Same for AFC but that is on an eight year rotation (4 Divisions to play as opposed to 3) - so this year we play Baltimore and Cinci home and, in 2016, we will play them away, then home again in 2020.

The "off" Division rivals rotate home and away in the years we do not play their division. This year we play the similarly ranked NFC West team (Rams) away, next year we will play the similarly ranked NFC West team at home (Niners on Monday night!), and the following year we play the entire division with Arizona and St. Louis home. (Away, Home, Division, Away, Home, Division).

[JoeRedskin]

So, in the course of 7 years, a fan can see every team in the league play in the home stadium at least once.

Also, I was wrong in my earlier post, it takes 4 years - not 3 - to play every team in the league.
